Undergraduate Majors

With more than 40 majors to choose from, our curriculum offers you unparalleled opportunity to pick your path and find the right fit for you, whether you’re interested in Natural Sciences and Mathematics or Social Sciences, or Humanities like History and English are more your style. 

Many of our majors also offer opportunities for internships and co-ops both locally and nationally, study abroad and service learning, where you make real-world impact on your community.

If you’re not sure which major is right for you, you’re not alone. Many incoming students aren’t sure with path is the right one—which may be why many of our first-year students choose our Exploratory Studies Program. Through Exploratory Studies, you’ll learn more about what each major has to offer, and whether it’s right for you.

Why study Chemical Engineering?

As a student in the chemical engineering minor program at the University of Cincinnati, you will explore chemical topics to enhance your degree. Courses will introduce you to petrochemicals, plastics, fibers, pharmaceuticals, microelectronics, energy and materials that work to improve today’s society. With a minor in chemical engineering, your skills will translate to other fields that seek to solve environmental problems and produce new materials on a large scale. 

Career Possibilities

Chemical Engineering principles can be applied in a wide range of contexts and industries; Graduates with a background in Chemical Engineering are employed not only in traditional chemical manufacturing positions, but in positions involved with food and consumer products, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, energy (including alternative energy and biofuels), advanced materials, electronics, addressing environmental concerns such as carbon capture and waste reclamation, pulp and paper, utilities (including water, waste treatment, power generation, and natural gas), aerospace, and research. 

Minoring in Chemical Engineering

Completing the Chemical Engineering minor will provide you with many of the core chemical engineering skills.  You’ll learn the core principles of material and energy balances; chemical engineering thermodynamics; momentum, heat, and mass transfer; and chemical reaction engineering, and will have the opportunity to gain additional skills in an elective area such as chemical separations, process controls, industrial chemistry, or another area approved by the department.

Admission Requirements

The Chemical Engineering minor is open to all UC students, but all prerequisties for courses in the minor must be met.

Accreditation

The University of Cincinnati and all regional campuses are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
